Orlando Pirates' chairman Irvin Khoza is expected to meet Lucky Lekgwathi next week as negotiations for a new contract for the seasoned defender continue in earnest.

This was revealed by Bucs' official Floyd Mbele, who would not be drawn into pre-empting the outcome of the meeting.

Lekgwathi has not featured for Pirates in an official match this season after his contract expired last season but the ongoing discussions between the two parties could result in the hard-working defender clinching a new deal. - Mcelwa Nchabeleng
